India Innovates 2026 Finalist -- Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi
TRILOKA Systems is an indigenous, low-cost autonomous platform that simultaneously operates across three domains - air, surface, and underwater - in a single coordinated mission.
Built for monitoring India's 7,500+ km coastline, 5,000+ large dams, and strategic harbours, where current solutions are single-domain, expensive, and mostly imported.
